For Constipation "I had a terrible experience with this drug. The worst stomach cramps I’ve ever had. Chills and nausea too. 15 hours later I feel wiped out and doubled over in pain still. My legs and calves cramped also all night and are still cramping. I would never take this again and I urge caution before taking this."

For Constipation "Oh my goodness, took this medication thinking it would help me. It worked the littlest bit, still can't really go. But the side effects: cold, shivering, breaking out in sweats, severe stomach pain, dizzy, lightheaded, basically passed out, thought I was going to die. It is 2 days since I took it, and I still feel awful. Will never, ever take again."

For Constipation "Please do not take this medicine. Oh my goodness, I can't express enough what this put me through the past 2 days. I took it yesterday at 7 a.m. and was fine all day until after dinner at 6:30. Then I felt major gas-like pains that took me to my knees. The pain had me sounding like a dying moose. Then came the nausea and vomiting, it felt like the worst food poisoning ever. I was so hot and sweating like crazy, then literally freezing. The urgency to vomit and poop made me lose total control of my bladder. I was so weak from the torturing pain that I could hardly speak or move. I wanted to lay down in a fetal position, not moving to prevent the pain from coming back. During all this, I felt delirious, and my heart was pounding the whole time throughout the night. DON'T USE!"

For Constipation "I’m going to be as honest as possible here. Yesterday, I was extremely constipated, and I couldn’t go to the washroom for the past few days. My brother has IBS and recommended Senokot to me, he loves it. I took it at bedtime as recommended, took 2, and this morning I am suffering from extreme abdominal cramping. I’m nauseous, and I have chills. I didn’t even get it all out! I literally feel like I have the flu after taking this. I cannot even get through my day. It worked for my brother, he likes it, but I will never take this again. I’ll stick to Durolax or Metamucil for now."

For Constipation "Horrifying. Like another said, I'm a mom as well, and the pain from this drug was worse than labor pain - couldn't agree more. I also had the nausea, sweating, then chills, and am suffering from PTSD from it. For 2 hours, I was screaming, the pain was so bad, the thought of riding in an ambulance with a morphine drip was what kept me alive. I'm considering a lawsuit. I did survive (obviously), but the next day, I had pains all over my stomach area like I did 1000 crunches, and it's mostly my stomach more than my intestines."

For Constipation "Do NOT buy. I took two tablets at around 8 PM on Sunday night. The following morning, I felt fine and had a BM that afternoon. However, that night, I developed severe pain in my stomach. I began dry retching and had the chills. I also lost my appetite. It is currently Wednesday, and I have been bed-ridden since Monday night. I still have stomach pain (however, it is definitely not as bad as Mon/Tue) and have no appetite. Do not, under any circumstances, buy this product. I’m sure there are other products out there that don’t absolutely destroy you. How they can have this product on the shelves with these kinds of side effects is beyond me."

For Constipation "That stuff ripped through my intestines and gave me diarrhea and chills for hours. It doesn't just relieve constipation, it gives you a colon cleansing. Would not recommend it unless you have a really strong stomach or really bad constipation. The box saying it's gentle is a lie."

For Bowel Preparation "Worked very well. Took 2 of the tablets at about 10 PM. When I woke up, bowel movement started around 10 AM. I had no chills, no side effects like a few of the other reviews, no nausea. Just completely cleared me out!"

For Constipation "Thought I was going to die!!! Worst abdominal pain in my life. Sweats, chills, hot flashes, throwing up. First 2 hours made me poop golf balls, after that, straight liquid. 4 pills total, about 24 hours apart. I was very close to calling 911, I was so sick and in so much pain. The constipation was nothing compared to this."
